A Little of This and a Little of That...

Lucky finds in the linen department...


Stunning pillowcases....


... delicately embroidered...


... and hand finished....


What's that you ask?
No stains? No holes?


Nope!
It's amazing what people give away to the Salvos


Does anyone else love a pile of freshly washed, 
neatly ironed(with lavender water) & carefully stacked 
pile of linen as much much as me?
Oh the sheer pleasure of seeing this little stack in say something like this...


Definoootilly!!

I've also been playing around with my succulents by
striking them in interesting containers...


I adore these kind of plants because they are so hardy...
(esp in our Perth climate!)


... and they are so easy to strike!


Most of the time you have to treat them 
mean to keep them keen!


And when you go away on holidays you can relax
knowing they'll still be alive when you return ;-)

Well I've got to run - things to do and places to be.
I'll leave you with the week ahead summed up in two 
simple images...



Catch ya later!

I love a pile of freshly washed,
neatly ironed(with lavender water) & carefully stacked pile of linen too but never more so than when someone else has washed and ironed them ;D

I love the smell and feel of neatly stacked linens still hot from the iren, although Mr isn't too impressed by the sticky patch on the floor from all the spray starch I use!
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog but I still can't reply to you direct for some reason, so please don't think I am ignoring you! If you wouldn't mind sending me your email address I can reply to you that way in future. Hope you're having a great week. M x

oh, the ironed linen is lovely. i used to set my ironing up on the porch in the summer, ironing everything as i took it off the clothesline. now i barely even fold it, i have so little time. but i think i'll have to prioritize that.....
enjoy your lovely plants and your luxurious linens....
